JUST BEFORE YOU DONATE YOUR ORGAN

Posted by Mrs. Obioma Agoziem on 6 November 2014
As transplant surgeries increase around the world, organ trafficking is on the rise. Organ trafficking no doubt is among the most gruesome and morally reprehensible crimes.  Many more traffickers are going into it. The most worrisome thing is that very young boys and girls particularly those in the universities are lured into donation of their eggs and sperms for a trifling sum. Most donors are not aware of the health implications associated with it. There is usually complications after being exposed to high doses hormones needed for harvesting of ovarian egg/Sperm especially for money. The health hazards includes kidney/liver failure, infections, infertility after some years.  Therefore think before you donate your organ for a stipend.
